I've checked in an attempt to do this: it turns out that the current structure of the code allows the simplest approach (skipping the cow deactivate) to work regardless of whether or not options like --persistent or --permission are supplied. The 'snapshot' LV mapped device gets created with the correct properties for the snapshot, but pointing to the cow and it gets zeroed. Then the cow is activated in a new mapped device and the old one gets reused for the proper snapshot.
